Angel

[intertext]

I have to report that I am now watching "Angel" to assuage somewhat my Buffy withdrawal. It serves the purpose; I'm enjoying it, though have to confess that I'm hoping for an antidote to two very tragic episodes in a row. In one, Angel becomes human for a day and a night, long enough to spend a passionate time with Buffy, who was visiting. In a noble sacrifice, he gives up being human in order to continue his mission to fight evil and better protect his true love. He remembers; she doesn't. Sniff. And THEN, in the very next episode, Doyle, whom I really liked, gives his life in an intense, noble, heroic way. Sniff sniff.

It's the loneliness of the long-distance slayer. I have been netflixing Buffy and Angel and watched them in order. So now I'm on Angel, season 5. It only gets darker, but in some ways it's as good or better than Buffy.

Ah, you're ahead of me, but I've been doing the same thing, renting a dvd or two per week. I've now worked my way through all of Buffy, and am just on Season 1 of Angel, so have something to look forward to, obviously. It does fill the gap left by Buffy.

Yep -- but because I watched them interspersed, so that the crossovers made sense.
